CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

Ordinance No. 3296

ZONING INDEPENDENCE RANCH FILINGS 7-13

LOCATED NORTH OF F ¾ ROAD AT 20 ½ ROAD TO CITY PD

Recitals.

 Independence Ranch Filings 4 through 10 is a planned development in the process of being constructed north of F ¾ Road at 20 ½ Road. Filings 4-5 have been constructed and filing 6 has been approved but not recorded. The zoning under the former code was PR-1.7. Zoning under the new code is PD or planned development, with an underlying density of 1.7 dwellings per acre. The 10-acre parcel to the west of this site, commonly known as the Talley parcel, is now owned by Hans Brutsche, the developer of Independence Ranch. Mr. Brutsche has purchased this parcel to expand the Independence Ranch Subdivision.

 The developer has requested a zone of annexation of PD (Planned Development) with an underlying density of 1.7 dwellings per acre for the 10-acre Talley parcel. The remaining filings of Independence Ranch are also being rezoned at this time to assure consistency in bulk requirements for the entire remaining portions of the planned development. Three additional filings have been added to this subdivision with the addition of the Talley parcel.

 After public notice and hearing the Planning Commission found that the proposed zoning is in conformance with Section 2.6 of Grand Junction Zoning and Development Code and recommended approval of the zone change at its September 19, 2000 hearing. See file number ANX-2000-143 for specific findings of review.

 NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO:

 That the City Council finds that the proposed rezone meets the criteria set forth in Section 2.6 of the Zoning and Development Code. In accordance therewith the following described parcel of land is hereby zoned PD with the following bulk standards:

Under the Zoning and Development Code PD’s are based on straight zones. The underlying straight zone for Independence Ranch Filings 7-13 Planned Development is RSF-2. The PD zoning when adopted is integral to and a part of the approved development plan. Most all of the bulk standards in this PD zone have been varied from the RSF-2 zone due to specific design considerations. Those design considerations were evaluated by the Planning Commission and City Development staff and were found to be appropriate. The Planning Commission and staff have recommended approval of the zoning.
